Homeland (stylized as HOMƎLAND) is an American espionage thriller television series developed by Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa. Based on the Israeli series Prisoners of War (Hebrew: חטופים, romanized: Hatufim, literally "Abductees"), it was created by Gideon Raff,[1][2] who also serves as an executive producer on Homeland. The series stars Claire Danes as Carrie Mathison, a CIA officer with bipolar disorder, convinced that decorated Marine Corps scout sniper Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis) was "turned" by al-Qaeda and poses a threat to the United States. The series storyline grows from that premise, together with Mathison's ongoing covert work.
The series was broadcast in the United States on cable channel Showtime, and was produced by Fox 21 Television Studios (formerly Fox 21). It premiered on October 2, 2011.[3] The first episode was made available online more than two weeks before the television broadcast, with viewers having to complete game tasks to gain access.[4][5] The series' eighth and final season[6][7] premiered on February 9, 2020.[8] The finale aired on April 26, 2020.
The series received largely positive reviews, with its first two seasons gaining near-universal praise. It won several awards, including the 2011 and 2012 Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Drama for its first two seasons, and the 2012 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series for its first season. Danes won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series twice (from five nominations), and Lewis won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series once (from two nominations). Supporting cast members Mandy Patinkin, Morena Baccarin, Rupert Friend, and F. Murray Abraham also received Emmy acting nominations.[9]
